Weigh the cacao nibs into the TMX and process 10 sec/speed 8. Throw the rest in except the coconut. Blend 10 sec/speed 8.
With damp hands, roll into tablespoon size balls and roll in coconut.

Tenina advises to let the balls sit for a while. Don't eat them right away. I totally agree with this. The flavours meld nicely after sitting.

The first time I made these I gave them to a friend. She likes this type of stuff. She's pregnant, and I thought these would make a nice little pick me up because they are full of good stuff like antioxidants. And I used organic ingredients (except the cherries). Of course, I had a mental discourse about "should I or shouldn't I?" "will she like them?" "am I being silly?" In the end I just decided to do it. I'm trying to push through my introvert tendency to over-analyse everything. I want to evaluate all possibilities, so I spend too much time thinking and not enough doing. I've decided that more doing is good. I think about my friends often, and I like doing things for them which is why I made more today.

A gift that is handmade - be it food or clothing always shows someone you are thinking of them - good on you for pushing through and giving them to your friend Sara.'I LOOOVE it when friends who love to cook make me food!

About Me

I am currently crafting while looking after my family. This blog mostly documents my crafty exploits. I love to sew and dye, but sometimes I might ramble about food or something else completely random.
